I have 4 sessions of anti-ageing injections per year, to soften my static lines (the lines that are visible at rest) in my case my frown lines predominantly.  I also on occasion have a little in my chin to relax it, as I suffer from a pronounced overbite which over the years has caused the muscles in my chin to weaken and has caused a pebbled appearance.  I also have a little above my top lip to prevent and soften peri oral lines (commonly referred to as smokers lines, yet all women get these, whether they have smoked or not – this is due to oestrogen deficiency which plays havoc with our collagen levels particularly around the mouth).

​

I am religious with my skincare routine.  I use Obagi medical products, which are honestly like no other skin care products I have ever used.  Before I was a Nurse I worked in Debenhams on the skin and beauty counters for some luxury brands.  It is only now I have become an Aesthetic Nurse I realise none of their products actually work and it’s all a bit of a con.  All fancy names and packaging really does mean nothing.  Medical grade skin care works from the deeper layers so from the inside up.  Shop bought skincare cannot target the deeper layers so it just sits on the surface, often actually causing harm.  

I have regular in clinic facial treatments which I alternate.  I have superficial Obagi Blue Radiance Peels, which have no real downtime, these brighten my complexion and reduce pore size as well as treating sun damage e.g. pigmentation which I’ve acquired over the years, as let’s be honest, everyone wanted a tan in the 80s and 90s. 

​

I have regular Envy Diamond Glow Facials, these are one of my favourite treatments.  I noticed as I was getting older my face seemed puffier (see image).  This is because as we age our lymphatic nodes in our face become compromised, and we start to hold water in our tissues.  The Envy Diamond Glow Facial drains that fluid away and kick starts your lymphatics to start working again.  In turn my face looks tighter and slimmer.  The Envy Diamond Glow Facial exfoliates dead skin cells, removes impurities that our skin becomes congested with due to internal factors e.g., hormones and external factors such as pollution and our environment. This facial also infuses bespoke vitamin serums (chosen specific to your skin type) into your skin at a deep level.

 

 

To keep an eye on my skin and keep me compliant I have regular in clinic skin scans with our Observ which shows all the layers of your skin, it’s so clever.

 

I have Profhilo 4 times per year. Profhilo is an injectable moisturiser, hailed as “honey for the skin”, it really is.  This gives me the ultimate glow, I look super hydrated and it gives me a slight lift all over.  Oh.... the comments I get When I’ve just had this!

 

Finally I have around 3 syringes of filler a year.  I have my lips treated my midface and lower face.  I just have little bits where I have volume loss.
